PREFACE 



The history of Swedish gymnastics in America may 
be said to have begun with the work of Dr. George H. 
Taylor, who, after studying in Sweden, introduced 
the " movement cure" into this country, and who for 
years was the only American writer on this subject. 
He was soon followed by stray medical gymnasts who 
located in the larger cities of the East. Yet their 
work seems to have been confined to a small area, for 
as late as seven years ago very little was known of 
medical gymnastics even among physicians; and as 
for the educational branch, no one seemed to have 
heard of it. The author of this book was surprised 
to find his profession looked upon as one of the low- 
est. That a masseur or gymnast needed to possess not 
only a good general education, but a professional one 
as well, was known to but few. During the last five 
years, however, gymnastics have been slowly, but 
surely, advancing towards a place among the sci- 
ences, and it will not be long before we shall begin to 
see a marked change in the national characteristics. 

In 1887 the author published a little pamphlet en- 
titled " Medical Gymnastics," which chanced to fall 
into the hands of a noted philanthropist. Her atten- 
tion having been thus called to the subject, in 1888 
7

Preface 



she secured the services of the author to demonstrate 
Swedish gymnastics to a class of teachers from the 
Boston public schools; and the experiment proved so 
successful that another class composed of masters of 
Boston schools was placed under the same instruction, 
and from this beginning was developed a school of 
gymnastics, of which the author became director. 
The next year one hundred teachers were given free 
instruction in this school, the masters' class was con- 
tinued, and various practice classes were formed. 
Besides being the sole instructor for all these classes, 
the author was given the work of introducing Swedish 
gymnastics into the Boston Normal School, where 
daily all the pupils came under his instruction. More- 
over, during all this time the author was giving vari- 
ous public lectures on the subject, and was called 
before the school committee of Boston to explain the 
system, and present arguments in its favor. After 
much discussion, and notwithstanding great opposi- 
tion, Swedish gymnastics became officially authorized 
in the Boston schools in June, 1890; but it is to be 
remembered that in many of the schools the system 
had already been taught for over a year. Previous to 
this start in Boston, attempts had been made by un- 
trained teachers in one or two other cities to bring the 
system to the front, but no prominence had been given 
to their efforts. 

With this began a new era, and now a curious thing 
occurs. Everybody attempts teaching Swedish gym- 
nastics, and one has only to be a Scandinavian to be 
considered competent to teach this subject. That the 
system has survived in this country under such cir- 



Preface

cumstances stands greatly to its credit. We have wit- 
nessed the strange spectacle of city after city adopting 
the system, and (with one or two exceptions) secur- 
ing poorly trained teachers to introduce it, and after- 
wards wondering at the bad results attained. The 
arrogance of some teachers has even gone so far that 
they deny all authority but their own. Even the 
word of the late Prof. Hj. Ling (the son of P. H. 
Ling), whom the Swedes rank foremost, has no 
weight with them, and the laws of the human body 
they regard as being of no consequence whatever. 

Since severing his connection with the Boston 
School of Gymnastics, the author has been enabled 
to propagate the system on a larger scale from a school 
of his own; and, at the urgent solicitation of his pupils, 
has decided to publish what he had been saving for 
riper times, — a manual which is the result of five 
years' work, and a much longer period of investiga- 
tion. 

The author objects most sincerely to making teach- 
ers into machines, and desires that this book be merely 
a guide for those who are already familiar with the 
subject, and who can couple their individuality to that 
of another, and who are teachers, not imitators. The 
tables have been arranged so as to suit all the condi- 
tions of a school; and with the progressive lists at the 
end of the book, a teacher of gymnastics can easily 
expand the tables so as to make them correspond to 
any conditions under which he is teaching. Those 
who desire to learn more about the rationale of the 
system are referred to " The Swedish System of Edu- 
cational Gymnastics " (published by Lee & Shepard),

and "The Scientific Aspect of Swedish Gymnastics" 
(Posse Gymnasium, Boston), by the same author. 

Although this book is in a measure a new departure, 
it is based upon the writings of Hj. Ling (who was 
professor of educational gymnastics at the R. G. C. I. 
when the author took his first year's course there) 
and upon the teaching of the present faculty of the 
Royal Gym. Cent. Inst, of Stockholm, the only recog- 
nized authorities on this subject.

FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES AND 
ADVICE TO THE TEACHER 



§ 1. Definition, The aim of educational 
gymnastics is to develop the body into a 
harmonious whole under the perfect control 
of the will. It is not to produce great bulk 
of muscle, but to cause that already present 
to respond readily to volition ; to improve 
the functional activity of the body ; and to 
counteract and correct tendencies to abnormal 
development, especially those resulting from 
" the artificial life of civilization." 

§2. A gymnastic movement has a definite 
space, time, velocity, force, and purpose ; and 
it must be executed with full volition in 
order to produce the utmost effect toward 
physical development. Movements per- 
formed automatically have but little effect 
in this direction. 

§3. Choice of Exercise. Movements 
11 



12 



School Gymnastics 



are chosen for physical and physiological 
effects — local or general ; so that only those 
exercises are used whose effects are needed, 
and those are excluded whose effects are 
doubtful or pernicious. No teacher should 
attempt to apply a movement which he does 
not fully understand. No exercise should be 
used because "it looks pretty." 

§ 4. The more an exercise has the " correc- 
tive " effect, indicated in § 1, the greater is 
its value. 

§ 5. The Dose. To be developing, gym- 
nastics must be systematic : Exercise should 
be taken in correct " doses " with regular 
intervals, and with a progression from the 
easy and simple to that which is harder and 
more complicated. 

§ 6. From half an hour a day to an hour 
should be allotted to gymnastics ; and it is 
better to take the whole of this time for one 
lesson than to distribute it in ten-minute 
doses over the day. The last arrangement 
is suitable only for small children as a rest 



Fundamental Principles 13 



from study or recitation at the age (kinder- 
garten) where but little is to be expected 
from gymnastics, Nature herself taking care 
of the proper development of the body. 

§ 7. Progression is twofold : (a) from ex- 
ercise to exercise in the same lesson, and (b) 
from the movements of one lesson to those of 
another. 

§ 8. Progression (a). Experience having 
proved that if the exercises in every lesson 
followed each other in a certain order, better 
results could be gained, this order was made 
the basis for the classification of the gym- 
nastic movements, and the following groups 
were received : — 



General. 



1. Introductions. 

2. Arch-flexions. 

3. Heaving-movements. 

4. Balance-movements. 

5. Shoulder-blade-movements, j 

6. Abdominal exercises. i. Local. 

7. Lateral trunk-movements. J 

8. Slow leg-movements. 1 

9. Jumping and vaulting, j* General. 
10. Respiratory exercises, j 

each lesson containing one or more from each 
group in the order enumerated. This pre- 



14 



School Gymnastics 



supposes the use of apparatus for heaving- 
movements. In total absence of such 
apparatus, the following arrangement has 
been recommended as being more suitable. 

1. Introductions. 

(2. Lateral trunk-movement [T. rot.].) 

3. Substitute for heaving-movement (A. ext. 
or 2 A. ext.). 

4. Arch-flexion. 

5. Balance-movement. 

6. Shoulder-blade-movement. 

7. Abdominal exercise. 

8. Lateral trunk-movement (T. sidew. flex.). 

9. Jumping. 

10. Slow leg-movement. 

11. Respiratory exercise. 

This is the plan usually followed in the 
tables given in this manual. 

§ 9. Progression (b) is made by keep- 
ing the same exercise and making various 
changes in it, or by using a different and 
stronger exercise of the same kind. 

§ 10. For the same movement progression 
is made by : — 

1. Changing the rhythm ; for instance: "Pre- 
pare to jump — one! Two! Three ! Four ) " 



Fundamental Principles 



15 



later becomes " The same — one^two ! Three ! 
Four ! " or " One ! Two^three ! Four ! " etc. 

2. Combining several motions into series 
or increasing duration of movement. For in- 
stance : " Arms forward, sideways and back- 
ward stretch — one! Two! One! Two! One- 
Two ! " later becomes " Arms forward, side- 
ways and backward — stretch ! " etc. 

3. Decreasing the base. For instance, side- 
ways flexion of the trunk at first done w r ith 
feet astride, is later done with feet together, 
one foot in advance of the other, etc. 

4. Increasing the lever of the weight, as 
when in arch-flexions we successively use 
wing, yard, rest, and stretch position of the 
arms, the weight being the same (the body 
above the hips). 

5. Increasing the weight or the muscular 
resistance. Examples of the former are the 
use of dumb-bells, chest- weights, etc. In 
childhood Nature provides this progression 
through growth ; and art needs to add no 
external weights, especially as the use of 



16 



School Gymnastics 



these involves a twofold progression ; viz., 
increase of the weight and of its lever. In- 
crease of muscular resistance can be accom- 
plished in slow movements by bringing the 
"antagonists" into play. (For inst., slow 
2 A. ext. upw. with elbows drawn well back). 

6. Changing the velocity, making rapid 
movements slow, and slow movements rapid, 
in the first case producing " antagonistic " 
resistance, in the last increasing the momen- 
tum of the weight (quick T. flex, sidew. etc.). 

§ 11. Considering the muscular activity, 
movements should progress from excentric, 
to concentric, to statical activity. For in. 
stance, yd. d stoop st. 2 A. elev. is at first 
begun from Str. stoop st. pos. 

Excentric Contraction = Muscle contracts 
but grows longer : — gives up to the weight. 
For instance, rise on tip-toe and bend your 
knees : — the extensors are allowing the 
knees to flex. 

Concentric Contraction = Muscle shortens, 
overcomes the weight. For instance, rise 



Fundamental Principles 17 

from sitting position : — the extensors stretch 
the knees. 

Statical Activity = Muscle is in active con- 
traction, but grows neither longer nor shorter. 
For instance, bend the knees to 90° and stay 
in that position. 

ISTo position should be used as commencing 
position for a movement, unless it has pre- 
viously been practised as final position of 
some* other movement. 

§ 12. Any exercise may serve as its own 
progression when repeated at a later period ; 
for, each time the pupil's ability must have 
grown, so that he can give the movement 
better form, and hence get greater effect from 
it. Perfection is seldom, if ever, reached. 

§ 13. Progression by taking a different 
movement involves the laws of leverage as 
applied to bodily movements. As these be- 
long in the domain of general kinesiology, 
we will merely indicate the manner of pro- 
cedure, without going into the details of it : 
Measure the lever of the force (a) (the 



18 School Gymnastics 



median of the muscles used), also the weight 
(W) and its lever (b) ; the muscular force 
(P) needed for equilibrium is then= !l W. 
Applying this to different movements, these 
can be compared and arranged in order from 
lighter to stronger. 

§ 14. In gymnastics, always use the simple 
before the complicated, that which requires 
little co-ordination before that which involves 
the activity of a great many parts at once. 

§ 15. Progression should be made as rapid 
as possible, for the question is to accomplish 
the most in the shortest time. Yet never leave 
an exercise until the class can do it as well as 
their degrees of physical culture at the time 
will permit. Do not hurry for the sake of vari- 
ety and at the expense of developing effect. 

§ 16. Do not let Gymnastics degener- 
ate into drill; but remember that move- 
ments are practised for their physiological 
effects, and not to learn the particular "trick" 
of doing them. On the other hand, when 
faulty form of motion or posture is caused by 



Fundamental Principles 



19 



carelessness or indifference and not by physi- 
cal inability, then drill : repeat the move- 
ment until the pupil will do it correctly. 
Remember that gymnastics should be a re- 
creation, and not a punishment — for as such 
they will be regarded by those who have for 
instructor a drill-master instead of a teacher 
of gymnastics. Too much " drill " produces 
stiff movements — counteracts grace — and 
develops automatons instead of supple beings 
of flesh and blood, full of energy and life. 
When a child exercises because he is forced 
to do so, and not because he enjoys it, his 
movements lack volition, and lose some of 
their best effects. 

§ 17. Room. If the exercises are taken 
in the class-room, this should be kept well 
swept and dusted ; and the windows should 
be kept open during the exercises, whenever 
the temperature permits. When the corridors 
are large enough, these are to be preferred to 
the class-room for gymnastic purposes. (Some 
simple apparatus: horizontal bar or stall-bars 



20 



School Gymnastics 



could easily be put up here, without spoiling 
the appearance of the corridor or encroaching 
much upon the space.) In the warm season 
a gravelled school-yard forms an excellent 
gymnasium. 

§ 18. Dress. No tight or heavy clothing 
is to be worn during the exercises ; turned- 
down collars (if any), loose jackets, and no sus- 
penders for boys ; blouse-waists (no corsets !) 
and light skirts for girls. Pupils who come 
to school in unsuitable attire should not be al- 
lowed to exercise, as injury may result from the 
wearing of tight clothing during gymnastics. 

§ 19. Commands. All exercises are exe- 
cuted to words of command, since this is the 
best means of securing full volition in the 
movements ; besides, it saves time and im- 
proves discipline and order. 

§ 20. Commands have two parts : — one 
preparatory describing the movement, one 
executory indicating the moment of its per- 
formance as well as its velocity. The prepara- 
tory command should be spoken slowly and 



Fundamental Principles 21 

loudly so that all may fully understand it. 
A cautionary part may be prefixed warning 
against the most common faults of execution. 
The executory command is spoken quickly if 
the movement is to be rapid (indicated in the 
tables by acute accent), slowly if it is to be 
slow. Give a rising inflection in the first 
case, or when the motion is upward; a falling 
inflection in the last case, or when the motion 
is downward. 

§ 21. Make all commands as short as pos- 
sible and use as few as possible. Do not 
read them off like a sermon, but have some 
variety of tone, and try never to say the same 
command twice alike. A monotonous voice 
has a very soporific effect, and after a while 
but few of the pupils will put any volition 
into the movements. Do not use commands 
for the sake of hearing your own voice. 

§ 22. Put your whole energy into your 
teaching, but do not become pedantic (see § 16 
about drill), as that has an effect similar 
to that of the somnolent voice. The life, 



22 



School Gymnastics 



spirit, and enthusiasm the teacher puts into 
his work soon become contagious, and the 
results gained will prove proportionate to his 
ability in this direction. 

§ 23. At first let the pause between pre- 
paratory and executory command correspond 
to the length of time required to get volition 
into the muscles that are going to be active. 
Later vary its length, so as never to allow the 
movements to become mechanical. In slow 
movements it is a good plan to give the pre- 
paratory command of the next movement 
before the first one has been fully completed, 
as this is a means of securing the best pre- 
cision. Do not shorten the pause or abbre- 
viate the commands so much as to cause the 
movements to occur in a slovenly manner or 
to become incomplete ; but remember the 
words of Gust. Nyblaeus that " you may take 
it for granted that careless gymnastics are 
no gymnastics, and that dull gymnastics are 
poor gymnastics." 

§ 24. When " attention " is ordered insist 



Fundamental Principles 23 

upon having attention ; and to secure the 
highest degree of this let it frequently alter- 
nate with rest (" stand at ease " or " in place 
rest "). Do not command " attention " unless 
the class is standing " at ease" for too fre- 
quent a use of this command will make both 
teacher and pupils forget its real meaning. 

§ 25. Never make elaborate corrections 
while keeping the class in a difficult posi- 
tion ; for, while two or three individuals are 
being attended to, the rest of the class get 
tired and lose their good posture. Make 
the class stand at ease when the individual 
is being corrected, and then let the whole 
class repeat the movement. The manual cor- 
rection takes the least time, and has also the 
advantage of enabling the teacher to correct 
more than one at a time : — he can adjust the 
posture of one pupil while giving verbal cor- 
rections to another or to the class as a whole. 

§ 26. Good Language. Try to use good 
English when teaching. If the command for 
a position is " bend," the corresponding com- 



24 



School Gymnastics 



mand is " stretch." In a like manner use the 
words lift and sink, raise and lower, so that 
the opposites are used for opposite move- 
ments. Do not say " upward raise " and 
" downward sink/' as raising is a movement 
upward, sinking a movement downward, etc. 
To those having an average knowledge of the 
requirements of good language these remarks 
may seem unnecessary. But such phrases have 
constantly been used in places where Swedish 
gymnastics are supposed to be taught, and 
not only that, but these errors have appeared 
in print as the correct forms of command. 

Another point to be observed is not to use 
very scientific terms when teaching children. 
Thus do not say " Arm-elevation, heel-eleva- 
tion and inhalation — one ! Two ! " but " Arms 
sideways lift, heels lift and breathe in — one ! 
Sink and breathe out — two ; " etc. 

§ 27. Position. A gymnastic movement 
consists of a commencing position, a final 
position, and a chain of intermediate posi- 
tions ; and it is rendered exact when these are 



Fundamental Principles 25 



correctly executed. A correct movement can 
be executed only from a correct commencing 
position ; and its final position, if correct, 
usually is a proof of exactness of perform- 
ance. Hence the class should be kept long 
enough in each position for the teacher to 
judge of the effect* and to make corrections 
accordingly. 

§ 28. Duration of Movement. Every 
movement should be repeated at least three 
consecutive times to each side before the 
class proceeds to another movement. To do 
a movement only once has but little effect. 
Do not give a movement too long duration 
(compare § 16), especially if it is powerful 
in its effects (like the arch-flexions, etc.). 
All movements should be executed in the 
simplest manner ; stiffness, jerks, or unneces- 
sary flourishes are foreign to rational gym- 
nastics. Take the positions in the shortest 
way, and make as little " show " as possible. 
Eemember that large, roundabout, and clumsy 
movements characterize those who lack phys- 
ical culture. 



26 



School Gymnastics 



§ 29. Positions are primary and derived. 
The primary are five : lying, sitting, kneel- 
ing, standing, and hanging. The derived 
positions are simple and complex ; the former 
being positions of the legs, arms, and trunk, 
the latter combinations of these. 

§ 30. Positions of the Legs. 

1. Standing position or fundamental pos. 
(st. pos.) : Heels together or slightly apart ; 
feet at an angle of 90° ; knees straight ; hips 
carried backward, chest forward and well 
expanded ; shoulders held back and down ; 
head erect with chin drawn in ; arms along 
the sides ; palms flat on the outside of the 
thighs and drawn slightly backward ; the 
weight of the body carried well forward. 
The position should be free from all stiffness. 
St. pos. is taken at the command "Atten- 
tion!" or, if the class is under attention, 
but has some other position, the command is 
" Position ! " when fund. pos. is taken the 
shortest way. In abbreviations of complex 
positions " st." refers to all parts not men- 
tioned, and means that these are in fund. pos.

exercises, etc., preferably movements which 
have been used before, and which hence re- 
quire but little effort. 

§ 39. Arch-flexions are backward flexions 
of the trunk, used to cultivate the extensi- 
bility of expiratory muscles (supple the chest). 
Incidentally they also straighten the dorsal 
region of the spine, and enlarge the inferior 
portion of the chest. Arch-flexions may pro- 
duce a back-ache, to counteract which they 
should always be followed by a forw. or forw. 
downw. flex, (determining a greater flow of 
blood through the legs).

§ 45. Jumping and vaulting exercises 
cultivate the general elasticity of the body, 
develop speed, courage, and presence of mind, 
and produce that general co-ordination of 
movement which should characterize those 
who possess physical culture. The "land- 
ing " forms the most valuable part of these 
movements, while height or distance jumped 
are of secondary importance. Correct land- 
ing takes place as follows : the knees are 
slightly bent when the balls of the feet (with 
heels together) strike the ground, then rapidly 
flex until the fall is broken, the arms being 
used so as to keep the trunk erect. Landing 
should never occur on the heels, and thes e 
must be kept together except for small 
heights, when they may with impunity be 
kept apart. While vaulting necessitates ap- 
paratus, jumping can be done without it. 

These exercises should always be fc llowed 
by respiratory exercises, and sometimes by 
marching or other slow leg-movements. 

Suitable movements are : —

§ 46. Respiratory exercises consist of 
the respiratory movements, accompanied by 
movements of the arms to increase the expan- 
sion of the chest through the inspiratory mus- 
cles, the arm movement to follow the rhythm 
of normal respiration. The commencing posi- 
tion and the movement decide the localization 
of the effect. Respiratory exercises are always 
used at the end of a lesson " to prepare for 
rest," and at any time during the lesson when 
previous exercises have abnormally quickened 
the heart-beat and the respiration. 

Movements of this class are : —

ONE HUNDRED PEOGEESSIVE 
TABLES OF EXEECISES. 



Each table is intended to be used daily for 
a week at a time. The transition from one 
to the next one is best done by adopting one 
new exercise at a time, and not by substitut- 
ing one whole table for another. Each exer- 
cise should be executed three (or more) times 
to each side, and should appear in at least 
two consecutive lessons in order to have any 
effect toward physical development. 

The tables are arranged so that the exer- 
cises can be taken in the hall, corridor, or 
school-room. They contain some movements 
with desks and chairs as apparatus ; parallel 
with these, "free" exercises have been put 
in as substitutes, so that all the conditions of 
a school may be suited. Exercises such as 
kneeling, stoopfalling, etc., are to be intro- 
duced only when the condition of the floor is 
such as not to ruin the children's clothing ; 
under other circumstances they should be 
omitted.
